"My hygienist said she could tell I probably breathe through my mouth at night, then I later noticed she was right."

I also have a tendency to grind my teeth...not while I'm sleeping, but if I'm working on my Family Tree on my computer. I don't notice it right away, and then finally realize I'm doing it.

Yep.

And we’re wearing masks due to the small risk that we will get this virus, a virus which is not fatal in the vast majority of cases.

There has not been a good risk analysis, cost/benefit, risk/benefit, or whatever the correct technical term is for balancing the risk of the disease vs. problems caused by us shutting down and doing things such as wearing masks.

...Wearing masks that have minimal effect on actually slowing down any viral spread, for the .001% that have proper masks and are wearing them properly.

Yes, they are. But he’d rather spend the money on bills. Never himself.

I wish he would though. Think of himself from time to time.

[proud American in Canada]

Yes and it’s better to breathe through your nose anyway. Your nose filters out germs; viruses and bacteria. With those little hairs. Can’t remember what they are called.

Oh well, there goes that theory... thx.
